Once again, when seconds count, you better hope that a typical human error doesn't happen if you have no means to protect yourself.

It’s time the SLPD invested in GPS navigation equipment.

Wrong address about a block away.

Was it a Dunkin Donuts ?

They can’t do the most basic and cursory police work these days? UPS probably gets the wrong house less often.

You are exactly right. When the gun confiscation tyrants rear their ugly head again, this story should be pointed out as a major reason we need to respect the 2A (as a shield against tyranny is a major reason also, but too many LIV will never understand it).

I'm tempted to speculate as to why the miscommunication between the victim and the dispatcher occurred, but I'll refrain.

The important thing is that the officers went home safely to their families that night.

Worth noting that none of the people quoted in the article having anything bad to say about the perp, and none of the comments about the article have anything good to say about COPS in general, or in particular.
Is it a neighborhood thing?

By the time they put on their ninja suits and get all their military toys together, your a** is grass. Police departments could save money by just buying yellow crime tape and chalk.

No telling how many people would have been shot dead had the police been at the right address.

Well, there’s a new wrinkle. Turns out the police can always “get home safely” if they just respond to the wrong address.

Jordan seems to have been a real man, a good guy and a hero. Rest in Peace Tony Jordan.
